BA QUANTUM 6800 S / 5500 S-18 / 5500 S-16 / 5500 S / 4500 S - 299 615.7

Safety Instructions 8. The brakes must always be correctly adjusted.

No liability can be accepted for normal wear or unauthorised modifications.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

5. Make sure that the jack has sufficient load capacity.

6. Avoid an excessive inflation pressure. Danger of bursting!

1. The hydraulic system is under high pressure!

7. The specified tyre pressure (– see »Specifications« on page 6.1) must be maintained.

2. When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors make sure that the hydraulic hoses are correctly connected.

8. Stand clear of the tyre when inflating.

9. Check the pressure regularly.

3. When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics, make sure that the hydraulic systems are unpressurised on the tractor side and on the machine side.

10. When working under the propped self-loading forage wagon no persons are permitted to be on it.

4. The female and male couplings between the tractor and the machine should be labelled to prevent incorrect connections. If connections are reversed (e.g. lifting/lowering), there is a risk of accident.

12. All mounting bolts and nuts must be tightened to the torque specified by the manufacturer.

5. Keep the hydraulic plugs clean.

6. Check hydraulic lines at regular intervals, and replace them if they are damaged or aged.

7. Replaced hydraulic lines must correspond to the technical requirements of the equipment manufacturer!

8. Use suitable material to prevent risk of injury when searching for leaks, such as cardboard or wood.

9. Fluid escaping under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. Seek medical attention in the event of injury of this type – risk of infection.

10. The tractor engine must be switched off and the system depressurised before starting work on the hydraulic system.

11. Repair work on the hydraulic system must be carried out by authorised specialised workshops only.

WHEELS AND TYRES, THREADED FASTENINGS 1. Repair work to the tyres must be carried out by qualified technicians using suitable tools.

2. When working on the wheels make sure that the self-loading forage wagon is secured and that wheel chocks are in place to prevent it from moving.

11. Regularly check nuts and screws for tight fit and tighten them, if necessary!

MAINTENANCE 1. Always switch off the drive and the tractor engine before carrying out any troubleshooting, and before all repair, maintenance and cleaning work. – Remove the ignition key!

2. Use suitable tools and wear safety gloves when replacing working parts!

3. Used oil should be disposed of correctly after an oil change.

4. Always disconnect the power supply before working on the electrical system!

5. Guards and protecting devices that are subjects to wear must be checked at regular intervals and replaced in good time!

6. Spare parts must at least comply with the technical standards required by the manufacturer of the implement! This is assured with original spare parts.

7. Always disconnect the connections at the alternator and battery before starting any electric welding work on the tractor and hitched machines.

SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL If the sound pressure level at the operator's ear exceeds 85 dB (A) (– see »Specifications« on page 6.1), ear protection must be used.

3. Tighten the wheel nuts after the first trip with a load.

4. After replacing the wheels retighten the wheel nuts or bolts after the first 10 operating hours, then check them every 50 hours.

10 Maintenance IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

After replacing the wheels retighten the wheel nuts or bolts after the first 10 operating hours, then check every 50 hours. For tightening torques see »Specifications«, page 6.1.

Brakes and axles Danger!

Always switch off the drive and the tractor engine before carrying out any troubleshooting, and before all repair, maintenance and cleaning work.

Incorrect repairs on the brake system may cause the brake system to fail.

– Have all work on the brake system carried out by a specialist workshop.

– Remove ignition key and uncouple universal drive shaft.

– Secure the self-loading forage wagon against rolling away (parking brake, wheel chocks).

When carrying out repair, maintenance and cleaning work and troubleshooting under or on the raised self-loading forage wagon, make sure that it is securely supported.

– Use appropriate supports.

Assembly work on pretensioned energy storage devices (springs, accumulators, gas shock absorbers etc.) requires sufficient knowledge and appropriate tools and must only be carried out in specialist workshops.

Energy storage equipment (springs, accumulators etc.) must be released as specified before working on it.

Wheels / tyres Note!

Repair work on tyres must be carried out by qualified technicians using suitable equipment.

– Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.

– Have brake systems thoroughly inspected regularly.

Air brake system Check brake hoses for proper condition. Damaged brake hoses must be replaced. No welding or soldering may be performed on fittings, tubes and air reservoir. Damaged parts must be replaced.

If a visual inspection, function check or efficiency test of the air brake system reveals any faults, have the complete system checked by an approved service station.

Hydraulic system Danger!

Fluid escaping under high pressure (hydraulic oil etc.) can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. Immediately consult a doctor in case of injury, otherwise serious infections can set in.

Danger!

– Before working on the hydraulic system, self-loading forage wagon or hydraulically actuated components, release pressure or drain the system.

Excessive pressure may cause tyres to burst.

– Always depressurise the hydraulic system.

– Stand clear of the tyre when inflating.

– Check hydraulic lines at regular intervals, and replace them if they are damaged or aged.

– Check the pressure regularly.

– Maintain the specified tyre pressure – see »Specifications«, page 6.1.

The wheel mounting bolts must be tightened to the torque specified by the manufacturer.

10.1

Danger!

Only technicians with special knowledge and experience with the hydraulic system of the self-loading forage wagon may work on the hydraulic equipment.

Assembly work on the hydraulic system must be carried out by authorised specialised workshops only.

BA QUANTUM 6800 S / 5500 S-18 / 5500 S-16 / 5500 S / 4500 S - 299 615.7

Maintenance Check hydraulic hoses at regular intervals, and replace them in the case of damage or ageing!

Replacement hydraulic hoses must meet the technical requirements of the equipment manufacturer. This is guaranteed when using original equipment hoses.

Environment!

The lubrication intervals stated apply to normal service conditions only. Lubricate more frequently if the machine is used in severe conditions.

Use only brand name lithium grease with a dropping point of 190 degrees Celsius to lubricate the wheel hub bearings. The wheel hub bearings must be repacked with new grease at least every six months or every 1000 hours of operation.

Dispose of oil and grease according to regulations!

Note!

Chassis Check suspension and axles fastenings with threaded fasteners daily. If technical changes to the leaf springs and excessive play at the bearing pins are noted, this must be corrected immediately.

Check that the mounting bolts of the ring hitch are firmly seated after the first 10 hours of operation and then every 50 hours thereafter.

Excessive lubricant can cause deposits of hardened grease and damage the bearings.

Guards Mount the all guards again after all maintenance and repair work.

Chains After harvest remove all steel roller chains, clean then, immerse them in warm chain grease or lubricate them thoroughly with chain oil and replace them.

When installing the chains make sure that the closed side of the chain link straps point in the direction of motion.

Bolts Check that all bolts are firmly seated after the first 10 hours of operation and then at regular intervals.

Tighten them if required. Tighten to specified torques.

Check that all split pins and roll pins are in place.

Lubrication Danger!

Take care when draining hot oil – danger of burning!

– Wear protective clothing (e.g. overalls, gloves etc.).

Environment!

Dispose of oil and grease according to regulations!

Observe the oil change intervals and the oil type in the gearbox specified by the manufacturer. Use good brand name lubricating grease or brand name lubricating oil to lubricate the machine. Clean the grease nipples before applying the grease gun. Lubricate regularly following the lubrication chart.

Maintenance Adjusting the brake - checking the brake cylinder piston stroke All new self-loading forage wagons are equipped with a fully operational brake system.

During the first few miles of driving the brake linings are adapted to the drums and play gradually increases. For this reason the brake must be readjusted after the first 20 operating hours. The brakes must also be readjusted every 80 hours to compensate for natural wear of the brake linings.

Only two thirds of the stroke of the brake cylinder may be used. If this range is exceeded the brake system must be readjusted or repaired by a specialist brake workshop.

Brake regulator The automatic load-controlled brake regulator (ALB) ensures that the brake pressure, i.e. the braking force, is automatically regulated to match the actual load of the self-loading forage wagon.

L

A 5 mm thick washer (12) is located under the tension spring of the control rope to compensate for the compression of the vehicle's springs caused by strain. If the vehicle's springs are compressed by about 5 mm, the washer must be removed.

12 6

The lever length (distance »L« see identification plate of the ALB regulator) must be adjusted as specified by the manufacturer.

(Fig. 6)

Brake linings Replace brake linings when required. Use only original brake linings approved by the manufacturer.

Otherwise the operating approval will be cancelled.

Maintenance TYRES: Danger!

Damaged tyres may lose pressure suddenly during operation and cause the machine to lose control. This also endangers stability, particularly when driving on slopes!

– Check tyres for damage and pressure loss regularly.

– Tyres must be repaired by qualified technicians with suitable equipment only.

Avoid an excessive inflation pressure. Danger of bursting!

– Stand clear of the tyre when inflating.

– Use only compressed air to inflate tyres.

– Do not exceed maximum permissible air pressure.

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

Do not exceed the specified air pressure.

Approved air pressure – see »Specifications«, page 6.1.

After replacing the wheels retighten the wheel nuts or bolts after the first 10 operating hours, then check every 50 hours.

Tightening torques – see »Specifications«, page 6.1

GUARDS Danger!

The guards protect against rotating machine parts – risk of injury.

Before opening the guards: – Switch off engine.

– Remove the ignition key.
